Pros
When the product looks nice and feels right, it seems like the skin will improve.
Cons
But it's a shortcut to ruining the skin. The pores get clogged so badly that acne pops up in the blocked pores. The more you use it, the more it feels like crossing a river you can't come back from. At first, you don't know, and you keep using it, and by the time you've used most of it, you realize it and throw it in the trash. It's not even moisturizing - the inner dryness is still extreme.

Pros
My oily skin absorbs this product really well. There's no sticky residue at all, and I've been using it for over two weeks now. My acne has decreased significantly and my skin tone has improved noticeably.
Cons
I'm not sure why, but my face feels a bit stinging and irritated. I bought this as a moisturizer, but even though I have very oily skin, it leaves a drying feeling, so I'm planning to get a separate morning moisturizer.

Pros
I didn't have any particular issues. If anything, it was a bit of a relief that I was able to purchase it at a slightly discounted price when sold as a set with a night cream. I won't be buying this cream again. It may be different for oily skin types, but I have dry skin.
Cons
Despite applying an essence beforehand to prevent tightness, this cream was still too dry and tight for my dry skin. After applying it and doing my makeup, the cream would ball up and flake off like eraser dust. I would say this is an eye-irritating product that those with sensitive eyes should avoid.

Pros
The spreadability is good. I usually use the Primera moisture cream, and this one spreads similarly well. After applying, it feels like a protective layer has been put on.
Cons
1. Stinging sensation when applied: The Kiehl's moisture cream also did this, and the Kiehl's store employee said that it happens when the skin is dry; but the stinging sensation is still unpleasant and disliked. 2. Makeup doesn't apply well: Even when applying the right amount, the makeup often slides off like when applying BB cream ㅠㅠ 3. Tightness: I have a combination skin type, but I've started feeling a tightness that I didn't used to feel... After applying the right amount and doing my makeup to go to work, my face feels extremely dry before lunchtime ㅠㅠ
Tip
It seems that to prevent the tightness, I need to apply the essence generously, then the cream, and on top of that, another cream.

Pros
It absorbs really quickly and doesn't feel greasy or powdery after application. The scent is quite strong, like a perfume? It may be divisive. The texture is very lightweight and seems suitable for summer use. Recommended for those with oily or combination skin.
Cons
As I have quite dry and sensitive skin, I felt tightness on my face shortly after application, and the strong scent even gave me a headache. My skin also broke out in serious blemishes due to the dryness... Not recommended for dry skin types. I tried mixing it with oil, but it still felt like it wasn't absorbing well into my face.

Pros
- 60ml / 49,000 won / jar type - With a shelf life of 15 months after opening, it has more volume than a regular moisturizer (50ml) and can be used for longer. - The product packaging is pretty. - The protective cap allows for more hygienic use. - In my opinion, the fragrance is similar to Ferrari Light Blue. - The texture may seem no different from a regular cream at first glance, but when applied to the back of the hand, it feels slightly firmer. - However, it is not viscous. - When applied to the face, it coats the skin thinly and densely. The oil content is just right. - As it is non-sticky, it leaves the skin soft and smooth. - It also had the effect of shrinking the pores. - It may be too heavy for oily skin, and not enough for dry skin. Therefore, it seems suitable for combination skin.
Cons
- It is not among the fastest absorbing creams. - Even without applying too much, it clumps up and gets pushed away, which is frustrating.. (I usually use a cream for 6-7 months) - I didn't feel the moisture, and about an hour later, my face felt tight. (Dry, dehydrated skin) - Although it was said to be the most suitable moisturizer for dry skin, it doesn't seem to be the case ㅠㅠ - Since it's a jar type, the active ingredients evaporate quickly. - No spatula included.
Tip
- Gave 3 stars since the 2.5 rating option was not available.

Pros
The unique (?) scent of Philosopy is not left behind It finishes off very, very refreshingly without being greasy Cream cheese texture Recommended as a summer moisturizer, especially for oily skin
Cons
If you liked the unscented Philosopy, this might be a bit disappointing Those with dry skin may find it a bit tightening (After applying generously and 2 hours passing, there is a dry feeling, so I applied it again)
